1. Meet Duckleberry Finn! This is a rubber ducky that the company I work for purchased for $100.00 as a donation for a local fund raiser at Loveland's Annual Corn Roast Festival! There are two options. Either the ducks can sail in a race in a pond or they can get dressed up and compete in a contest for the best dressed! Our duck didn't want to race, he wanted to dress up like Huckleberry Finn and do some fishin!
2. So, this is our entry to the contest, Duckleberry Finn and his boat. The little sign says, This Boat Property of Duckleberry Finn. I stamped the fish on the stringer and pole, made his little jeans and shirt out of some fun designer paper and decorated the boat with designer paper and a little bit of paint! It will be entered into a Silent Auction the end of August and will be on display at the restaurant until then! I just hope someone wants to buy it! Snort!
Thanks for looking! Happy Today!

Cindy this is fabulous. I know someone will want to buy it. You did a wonderful job. Hanibale MO home of Mark Twain is not that far from where we live. We took the kids a few years ago to the Mark Twain Caves where he based his story of Tom Sawyer. I love your fishing pole and boat. The string of caught fish is wonderful.

Crazy cute Cindy! Boy, you sure made it home fast from France and still had energy to make this dressed up duck. Now tell me, who dresses up a duck?!?! YOU, that's who. Love the stringer of fish. I'm sure this will be a big hit and bring in a big sum! Awesome job on your creativity here. TFS :0)
